Network Card Configuration Worksheet

Fill out one worksheet for each network card you are installing.

Table 1-1 Network Card Configuration Worksheet

Data Type	Required / Optional	Default	Where to Configure	Example
Internet address	Required	0.0.0.0	SAM or ifconfig	196.6.20.2
Subnet mask	Required if using subnetting	Subnet mask not used	SAM or ifconfig	255.255.248.0
Station address	Built-in but can be optionally changed	As shown on card	lanadmin -A or SAM	0x0060b0c4012f
Host name alias for this network interface (card)	Required if system is connected to more than 1 network	None	SAM	system1
Link configuration	Required	Autonegotiating	lanadmin -X or SAM	lanadmin -X auto_on `ppa#` (if already turned off)
Link speed/duplex mode	Required	Autonegotiating	Hub or switch^[1] and lanadmin -X or SAM	lanadmin -X 100fd `ppa#`
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit): Jumbo Frames	Optional	1500 bytes	lanadmin -M or SAM	lanadmin -M 9000 `ppa#` ^[2]
Receive flow control	Optional	On	lanadmin -X or SAM	lanadmin -X fctrl off
^[1]The speed configuration of the 1000Base-T card can be 10, 100, or 1000Mbps and is determined by the speed setting of the switch port to which the card is connected. The card automatically senses this speed. The card only runs at one speed at a time. To verify the speed selection, run lanadmin -x `ppa#`. ^[2]The valid MTU range is 1024 - 9000; for Jumbo Frames, the valid MTU size is 1501 - 9000.
